In an interview with TMZ on Tuesday, the 63-year-old actor responded to Rogan’s recent statement backing Spotify’s decision to label Covid-19 content with advisory warnings, saying: “ should put a disclaimer that he’s an a**hole.” Backlash over The Joe Rogan Experience began after an episode during which Rogan interviewed Robert Malone, a widely discredited doctor. On 31 December, members of the American medical community urged Spotify to take “action against mass-misinformation events” shared on its platform, specifically on Rogan’s popular podcast, in an open letter that quickly went viral. Since then, musicians such as Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Nis Lofgren, Graham Nash, and India Arie have removed their music from Spotify over Rogan’s podcast and, specifically, the spread of “lies costing people their lives”. On Tuesday, Johnson, 49, replied to Rogan’s apology video in which he addressed the platform’s policy changes that have been introduced following widespread criticism from the scientific community and musicians like Young and Mitchell.
